Linnea has left home. A little girl called Sue has come to live with us. She asked us all who we were, addresses us as Rob and Ailbhe, and doesn't know which room in the house is which. She's very polite, though.
ETA: Sue doesn't know who any of Linnea's friends are, didn't know which page of the book I ought to start at (though she almost "guessed" twice before she realised she must be wrong) and forgot to bring her pyjamas and her toothbrush. Luckily, Linnea had left hers behind, so Sue borrowed them.
She takes a scientific interest in Linnea's artwork and toys. Especially the paleontology toy.
I did ask her, at bedtime, if she could tell Linnea how much I love her, next time she sees her. "But I don't usually see Linnea much," she said.
